Budapest: design city
Do you connect the words 'Budapest' and 'design'? I bet you don't. If I'm right, then you should better read this post and change your mind!
Budapest is not just a capital city in Central Eastern Europe (CEE), it's becoming a capital of design for its region. There is no design scene in the CEE which you could compare with the Budapest scene: loads of galleries, modern architecture, workshops and universities (like the world-famous Moholy-Nagy Uni) and design shops. There's also a Wallpaper*CityGuide of Budapest, which means, that the city is already on the map of the world of design.
The most exciting about Budapest design is its combination of contemporary arts and traditional Hungarian motives like the tulip. Many of Budapests young designers create clothes, bags or other works inspired by the city and its culture. The 'city collection' of Bolt or the works of Camou are the best examples. These designers appreciate the liveliness and the special atmosphere of Budapest.
There are some of the best shop to buy real Hungarian design. No kitsch souvenirs, only the best of Budapest design! But there are not only shops: don't miss the WAMP, whe Hungarian Design Market, every month on a sunday in the heart of Budapest! For more informations, click here.

Vienna International Dance Festival - ImPulsTanz
ImPulsTanz
It's summer and it's time for modern & comtemporary dance performances in Vienna! The ImPulsTanz festival has begun on the 16th July and it will end on the 16th August, so you have to run for the tickets! You can see performances of truly famous and appriciated artists like Xavier Le Roy (F), Oliver Dubois (F), Liquid Loft (AT/CHN), Anne Juren (F/AT), etc. It sounds more like a French dance festival, but no, it's just international. The festival takes place in several theatres like the MQ Halle, Akademietheater or Schauspielhaus. For details, click here.

Towner *the new contemporary art museum*
I'm in the UK now, where you can find a lot of galleries, museums, exhibition centres - it's the Mecca of modern and contemporary arts!
First I'd like to introduce you this new (opened 4.4.09) museum of conntemporary arts in South England, Eastbourne. There are always temporary exhibitions, at the moment it's Jodie Carey's "In the Eyes of Others", which is a breath-taking installation and is worth to be seen. Don't miss the People's Choice exhibition, which presents the Towner Collection in another concept: people could vote in different categories and the winners of the voting are now exposed in the Main Gallery. The new building of Towner is a work of art as well, it's an architectural eye-candy.
The collection includes works of:
Henry Moore
William Nicholson
Julian Opie
Victor Pasmore
Pablo Picasso
Eric Ravilious
Wolfgang Tillmans, etc.

La Roux - Bulletproof
I've found a really cool and artsy video on YouTube (yes, YT is not only crap!) of the British electropop-band La Roux. The song is called Bulletproof and this week it possesses the 3rd position of the BBC Radio1 charts. I love the colours and the whole appearance of the video, so it's worth to be seen!

StreetArtAttack!
Vienna StreetArt
Here are some nice shots from Vienna, I've made them last week as I was walking through the city centre and the museumsquarter (MQ). I think the MQ is one of the coolest places to be in Vienna because you can chill out, meet new mates, visit the MuMoK, which is the Museum of Modern Arts and there are also some fancy design stores, cocktail bars and bookshops. Although I'm still of the opinion that Vienna isn't really a hotspot of contemporary art or culture, when I go to the MQ, I feel like I would be in a temple of modernArt.
Some pics from the MQ: Space Invaders, ElevatorArt, funny creatures on the wall and something more simple, but decorative. If you are in Vienna and you'd like to see modernArt, you should definitely go to the MQ!

Cy Twombly visits Vienna
Cy Twombly @ MuMoK
Sensations of the Moment
04/06/09 - 11/10/09
The American artist Cy Twombly (born in 1928) is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Starting off from abstract expressionism he developed his own original style using writing-like signs which he exaggerated in size into monumental, large-format canvases. The presentation in the MUMOK—the first in Austria—brings together works from all periods of his oeuvre and presents a new cycle of works specially created for the show. In Twombly’s pictures and sculptures the ancient myths of the Mediterranean world are evoked though it is the incidental and underlying that is the focal point. The alternation between sensitivity and vulgarity, filigree technique and expressivity constitute the enormous tension in the works. The exhibition, presented as a retrospective, brings together genres that, up till now, have generally been shown separately – sculpture, painting, drawing, graphic works and photographs. The works will be presented in such a way that the mutual reflection, influence and enrichment of the individual mediums will become clear and the aesthetic and conceptual guiding principles in Twombly’s art will become visible: the establishment of the colour white, the use of writing, the significance of the principles of collage and the aesthetic means of expression such as the melancholic down flow of heavily pastose pigment. Up till now it has not been widely known that ever since his time at Black Mountain College in the 1950s, Twombly has been continually occupied with photography. In the Vienna exhibition this wealth of photographic works will be integrated into the depiction of Twombly’s work for the first time.
